This thorough revision of the first edition, updates and
expands, with 25 percent new material, what was generally
recognized as a major survey of contemporary scientific research in
hypnosis. In this edition, also a classic, the editors include
three new essays in modern hypnosis studies. They also provide a
new conceptual framework--cognitive, ego-psychological, and
phenomenological--with which to examine hypnosis.
This edition is divided into six sections--Theoretical and
Historical Perspectives, New Theories, Surveys of Broad Areas,
Lines of Individual Research, Individual Researches within Specific
Areas, and Anticipations for Future Research. The entire book was
completely revised in the light of additional research since
publication of the original edition. Thirteen of the twenty
chapters in the first edition were updated by their authors, six so
extensively that they amount to new chapters, with changes in title
and order of authors in the case of coauthored chapters.
Hypnosis: Developments in Research and New Perspectives is
intended for researchers in hypnosis and clinical practitioners in
medicine and psychology. The focus, as indicated by the changed
subtitle, is on developments since publication of the original
editions: empirical studies, experiments with physiological
indicators of hypnosis, and theoretical uses associated with use of
hypnosis as a research tool. Altogether, this second edition is a
valuable overall guide to an intriguing topic.
